Flights to Sandstedt, Bremen from NT$29,810

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Sandstedt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sandstedt in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
